Black Friday is always a giver when it comes to great deals on audio equipment - and sometimes it makes things even harder on our wallets by giving early. This is exactly the case with Sweetwater’s latest early-Black Friday offers, with up to 60% discounts on some industry-heavyweight gear – namely, a up to $100 off Beyerdynamic’s 1770 Pro and 1990 Pro monitor headphones.

Beyerdynamic is the brand of choice for countless producers, engineers and artists, thanks to a rich tradition of solidly-constructed, full-range cans that don’t lie to you about your sound. Visit practically any pro studio and you’ll find a pair of Beyerdynamics lying around somewhere.

Many of you may already be familiar with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, which has come to be the gold standard for entry-level studio headphones; well, the DT 1770 Pro, and its open-back sibling the DT 1990 Pro, are the cream of the crop. And thanks to this killer Black Friday music deal at Sweetwater, they’re the cheapest they’ve ever been.

As far as monitor headphones go, you won’t need to look much farther than Beyerdynamic. The brand’s closed-back DT 1770 Pro headphones are an affordable industry standard, and an excellent choice for musician-producers hoping to both track instruments and reference mixes with them. Thanks to Sweetwater, you can pick up a pair for $60 less than asking price – making these even more of a bargain than they already were.

The DT 1770 Pro studio headphones usually go for around $430, being a mid-range set with some high-quality construction and components. These are ideal cans for the jack-of-all-trades-er, offering enough isolation that you can track instruments without your microphones picking up bleed – and offering enough full-range clarity that you can reference mixes in them with confidence.

The DT 1990s, meanwhile, are usually sold at Sweetwater for closer to $500. These are open-back cans, which enables them to be quite a bit more transparent when it comes to mix referencing. They don’t have quite the same practical utility as their closed-back twin, but they are a lot friendlier to your ears over long periods of time – and are able to give air to the low-end in a way closed-backs just can’t.

If you’re hoping to up your mixing game with some solid studio reference monitors, there’s no better time to pull the trigger on the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros. If you’re looking for some workhorse monitor headphones that’ll do it all, you should pounce on the Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pros. Either way, it’s rare to see Beyerdynamic get such generous discount treatment - so be sure to get in there while stocks last!
